  • If you plan on using something like Gentoo, building Gentoo and running it in a VM a couple times tends to be a smart play.

    I’ve been using Gentoo for ages, as I’m a stickler for stripping down everything to its bare minimum and even I tend to first have a couple runs at building and running it on new hardware, from within a VM.

    Going in knowing the intimate details of the hardware you use is always going to be a big plus.

    This.

    Seriously, people, start filtering out who gets to tell you removed.

    Of course, don’t overdo it and create an echo chamber for yourself, block the extremes, but don’t block basic disagreement.

    I started doing this years ago, primarily on Twitch.

    I despise copy pastas and edgelord comments, it’s why I generally watch streamers that have a relatively chill and small audience.

    But I do go into Kripps chat simply to fill up my block list with people that relentlessly spam chats with copy pastas and other similar sorts of comments.

    Later I started being a bit more gung-ho doing the same on all platforms and it made all types of social media oh so much better.

    You’ll quickly notice that a lot of the comments that put your teeth on edge came from the same few loud and obnoxious people, because once you start blocking people like that, after just 10-20 of them, the comments you see are already far more palatable.
